This standalone story, drawn by Mike Nicoll, links with the strips we've published on ROK Comics and Clickwheel.net, taking place on a post-apocalypse Earth in 2511.<br />

Included in this myebook is a one page article with some background on the origins of the strip, which was recently commissioned for an ongoing run in <em>Spaceship Away</em> for 2010.<br />
